Residue Tv Series (2015) Directed by Alex Garcia Lopez. Produced by
John Harrison,Charlotte Walls, Written by John Harrison,and Alex Garcia
Lopez, currently on Netflix.

This is a very strange Indie TV series,very short also at only three episodes,by the creator and director of the Channel Four series Misfits, Alex Garcia Lopez.

I have seen it and,it is a strange one,a dystopian future,in an unknown British City,with a very clever nod to Blade Runner,but on a smaller budget obviously,with the Chinese element prevalent,with Signs in English,and Chinese,plenty of backstreet Chinese restaurants. We have no flying cars,but we do have neon buildings.

With a very strong British cast starring Natalia Tena,who is known for two Harry Potter films,and a starring role in Game Of Thrones,Iwan Rheon,famous for his roles in Misfits and Game Of Thrones,and Finally Jamie Draven,who we have seen in the ITV series Ultimate Force,with other film roles In Badlands,and his most famous role as the older brother in Billy Elliot.

A story of a chemical explosion on New Years Eve killing hundreds in a Nightclub,with the British Home Office immediately clearing the area,within a five mile radius,creating an infected zone,patrolled by armed officers. With the Home Office repeatedly doing press conferences to say the contaminated area is controlled and safe.

The Problem is strange occurrences are happening very close to the perimeter of the contaminated area,with a dark mass,or residue taking over residents,which eventually leads to there suicides,which are being caught on camera by photographer Jennifer Preston,who she convinces her boyfriend who happens to work as a spokesman for the Home Office,that something isn't right.

For a three episode series,it is an interesting one,running at just over 129 minutes,or 43 minute episodes,we have a paranormal event taking place,that the British Government may just know about,and just might have caused the explosion,to create the contamination zone to really find out what is going on. With some great acting,and a director who certainly has a lot of references to Stanley Kubrick,with an orgy scene,wearing similar masks,and the same music,that was used in Eyes Wide Shut. To very kooky characters,and a very sly nod to Ridley Scott in Blade Runner.

It may be a little strange and weird for some,but I enjoyed it,episode 2 was a little slow,but you are rewarded for your viewing in episode three.

I really want this series to be picked up,and to continue,as these three episodes are like an extended Pilot episode,which does draw you in,with very little explanation what is going on,is what will Stoke the fire,gain interest and hopefully carry on with another series. I can heartily recommend this series.

I came across this trailer on YouTube yesterday, and it is doing the rounds again on social media, a trailer first showing in 2015, that got everyone talking " is this for real" " this can not be a film can it?" As it turns out no, it is a trailer that is well made, but certainly is not going to be a film anytime soon.
A one joke trailer about a randy ghost intent on jerking men off, using handjobs, I'm surprised the tag line wasn't "Cumming soon".
This was obviously made by men with a running narrative that women cannot give a decent handjob, and having them do the deed is worse than death, instead you have a ghost who wants to jerk all men to death.
It is as awful as you'd expect it to be, but I still found myself chuckle a few times, it is rude, crude, insinuating, and in fairness harmless fun, a film if made I would actually probably watch, it certainly looks better than the recent Cabin Fever, Evil Dead 2013.

Tree is about to have a very bad day, again, and again and again.
College Grad Tree, a self centred bitch, who you take an instant dislike to, who is foul to everyone.
Treats everyone like dirt, then wonders why someone would want her dead. With a groundhog Day loop thing going on every time she is murdered she has to live through the same Monday the 18th, until she can find out her wants her dead, solve her own murder, and maybe become a better person in the mean time.The thing is I really wanted to hate this movie, but I couldn't, because of the performance from Jessica Rothe as Tree, in her first scream queen role, starring previously in La La Land, and Netflix's Parallels.
She is so likeable and believable in the role, although playing the bitch perfectly, she is deep down a damaged soul, still mourning the death of her mother, and her grief is her anger towards fellow People.
With some inventive kills, and no matter what Tree does, the day always ends in her death, with …

A film that strangely has been long forgotten, from 1980, and a film that has no mention about any remake or reboot. That is how this good film has been left on the shelf, compared to other slashers of that decade. Strange as it has possibly the best onscreen kills, with amazing practical effects from Gore master Tom Savini.

Plot summary;
A jilted soldier returns home from world war 2, hearing just before that his girlfriend has replaced him with another man. At the graduation ball of 1945, Rosemary is brutally slain alongside her new boyfriend. Shocking the town, that another ball has been postponed for 35 years. It is now 1980 the ball has been agreed once more, and the jilted soldier is not happy and decides to slay the party goers once more.

Formally known as the Prowler especially in the States, but changed to Rosemary's Killer in the UK. The film apart from the great Gore effects is quite average though, and probably why it has never been remade. With the jilted soldier in…
